If “drivers license” channeled the intimate storytelling of Taylor Swift, “deja vu” nods towards Lorde’s offbeat melodrama and, eventually, Florence and the Machine’s grandiosity. Instead of pitting two young women against each other, “deja vu” directs its ire towards some unoriginal dude who keeps forcing “Uptown Girl” on his lovers-even though it was Rodrigo who introduced her ex to Mr.
“I bet she’s bragging to all her friends/Saying you’re so unique,” she sings, throwing in a smug “hmph” for good measure. Rodrigo catalogs these activities over a twinkly melody, twisting the tension before the big reveal: She’s not the love interest anymore. Once again, the narrative centers around an expired romance with distinctly theater-kid vibes: watching Glee reruns, trading clothing, being unabashedly annoying. If this was part of the 'Please Don't Go' challenge on TikTok, she would definitely crush it. The song’s delicate final moment-“’Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street”-is basically tattooed on the public consciousness.Īfter such a tremendous debut, Rodrigo’s next move would determine if she would be deemed a one-hit wonder or pop music’s next heavyweight. The music video for 'deja vu' opens with Olivia cruising through Malibu, rocking a headscarf and retro glasses while downing some strawberry ice cream. “And that’s the beauty of it, you got a problem?” retorted host Regé-Jean Page. It's about an ex who's moved on with someone similar and now fans think the 18 year old is. It even got its own effusive “Saturday Night Live” skit: “Sounds like it’s just some teen girl singing in her room to her piano,” remarked Pete Davidson. Favorite Crime is the penultimate song on the playlist of Olivia’s hotly-anticipated debut album, Sour. Olivia Rodriguez, new single deja vu just dropped. Not only did this specific video give me major Taylor Swift Red/Fearless-era vibes, but I also started. Fueled by a juicy subplot involving a Disney love triangle (with speculative responses from the other involved parties), “drivers license” debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and broke Spotify’s record for the most song streams in a week. NBC / Via But when Olivia dropped 'Deja Vu' on Thursday, it all clicked.
The introductory single from the 18-year-old actress, known for her roles in the Disney shows Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, followed a heartbroken Rodrigo on a spin through suburbs, lamenting what could have been. No one-especially not Olivia Rodrigo-expected “drivers license” to become the biggest song on the planet overnight.
